What did I do wrong with my great-grandfathers profile improvement?

Please Help!  I checked the Preview and all looked well.  But, after I saved his Profile It came up with a horrible mess.  Contents are half way down the page Under what I guess is the GEDCOM.  Half of my Biography ended up after <references /> and I did not put any <ref> information.  Is it because, I did not put my ==Sources== under my Contents?  Why did this not show up like this under Preview?

Anytime you add ==any word== it is going to put any word as a sub category under contents. If you don't want a heading under contents don't put ==, etc.

I will be happy to check it out if you are willing to change  security to open long enough for me/us to look at your coding. It looks to be easily fixed. On the surface one of the issues looks like you bold highlighted words coded with == etc. This prevents them from displaying properly. For example, ==Biography== doesn't need to be bold highlighted. Also, the gedcom download causes additional info to display that you may want to edit into a different format (more polished bio, etc)

Doug, Yes, I will do that, and would appreciate the help frrom you.  Don't understand the Gedcom stuff.  To me it can be compared to someone talking to me in a foreign language.  Could someone help me understand how to do that?
I repaired some your end tags the were not closed correctly
Thanks, Jacqueline  I appreciate it.

It looks like you had imported a gedcom, which comes with a lot of automatically created data & coding & then manually entered the profile info as well. I cleaned it up for you. If there's anything you don't like please let me know.

Doug,  Thanks alot, I really appreciate the time you spent clearing this up.  Also cleaning up the gedcom.  Looks great to me.  Just hope I can manage to keep it that way as I try to finish it up.
